...but today is the kind of day that I love to think back on. I sometimes wonder what things the kids will have memories of when they are adults and hope that these sorts of days make it into them.
Today was a family day and full of...
- Blue sky, sun and just a gentle breeze
- Me digging up the next vege patch while Simon cut up more of the firewood for next winter and the kids pottered around keeping the chickens out of the vege patches and playing in a pile of sand
- Taking a break and deciding on an impromptu picnic lunch in our garden which we haven't done before (well not down in amongst the vege's anyway); so out came the picnic mat, plates of fresh food, mugs of water and sitting under the pear tree in the shade watching the chickens and hoping we'd see them laying their eggs (no such luck, think they knew they were being watched even from a bit of a distance)
- Collecting the eggs later on with Danielle and just sitting down on the grass and chatting about them for a good 10 minutes while picking buttercups and putting them in our hair
- A bike ride down to the beach
Roll on more sunny days...

Sounds like a lovely day. I like the idea of picnics in your own yard. (And I'd do that if not for the obnoxiously loud neighbors with more curse words than not.)
